REVIEW –“ iPhone App Helps Shoppers Share Wine Recommendations for the Holidays”
Hello Vino provides wine advice at the point of purchase and allows consumers to share recommendations on Twitter and Facebook.
The latest version of the free Hello Vino iPhone app contains new features, including the ability to share pairings and wine brand recommendations to users’ social networks through Twitter and Facebook. In addition, the inclusion of new wine pairings for the holiday season, occasions, and popular dishes offers consumers several options for enjoying food and discovering new wines. A relationship with Wine.com helps to provide an intuitive search function and thorough brand recommendations containing the winery, region, price, vintage, notes, reviews, with industry ratings and scores. Lastly, Hello Vino now offers popular food pairings if the consumer has already selected a bottle of wine.
Hello Vino ranks #1 on the 5 Must-Have iPhone Apps for Wine Lovers on Mashable.com and #1 on the Top 50 Wine iPhone Apps report by Vintank. Over 300 varietals and styles of wine are currently available to consumers searching for food and wine pairings, gifts, by taste preference, or region.
“The Hello Vino iPhone app has provided some valuable insight into the mind of the beginner wine consumer,” said Hello Vino CEO Rick Breslin. “We are experiencing a significant increase in app usage during this holiday season. Recent trends are pointing towards turkey and holiday pairing suggestions as being the most popular.”
Wineries may enter their inventory into Hello Vino for free. Designed to support wineries of all sizes, the specifications to enter individual SKUs are available to brand managers on the Hello Vino website at www.HelloVino.com.
With a growing number of iPhones being sold (7MM in Q4 2009, 33MM to date, according to Apple), Hello Vino offers mobile advice for selecting wine and exposure to brands with an intuitive, user-friendly design. Available on iTunes, the Hello Vino iPhone app is free to consumers.
Hello Vino also delivers wine recommendations to PCs and mobile devices beyond the iPhone and iPod Touch, allowing wine consumers to choose the perfect bottle for a meal, occasion, or gift. The free Hello Vino service launched at the Boston Wine Expo on January 24, 2009 and will be back for the 2010 Expo.
